Guest guest Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Are you sure about this? I know that lord Visnu is mentioned in the Rig Veda, but I don't think Lord Shiva is, but as Rudra. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Yes I agree with you. Theory of Evolution by Vishnu has been described in detail in three chapters by Rishi Dirgatma in the Rigveda. A recent translation of the Rigveda gives all the details. Ref: Rigveda The Rise of Aryan Power www.rigveda.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Looking at that website you gave, I'm not sure most Hindus will agree with you there. It looks like whoever is selling that book has an agenda of their own, which is at least to distort. That translation looks like it's suggesting Rig-Veda is all about wars and nothing spiritual? That Indra was a commander? How can the priests be wrong when they are the primary interpreters on the Vedas. "It reveals that Rigveda is, in fact, the collection of songs praising mostly the heroic deeds of Indra, the Aryan commander of the troops of the Marut-soldiers and the heroic deeds of Agni, the commander of the Deva army. Indra had entered into treaty with Agni to oust the Asur kings who had occupied India and as thanks to his help his people were allowed to settle in India." "The learned and intelligent people of India were called the Devas." Nope, I don't think so, they were called Aryas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arya The English word Divine comes from the sanskrit Deva. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deva_deity As for Vishnu in the Vedas, he is a minor God and is Equated with the sun (later as Surya-Narayan). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 2, 2005 As for Vishnu in the Vedas, he is a minor God ===================== Nonetheless he is still given supreme position in the very same Vedas. For instance in RV 1.22.20 (By the way the translation provided on Wikipedia is, pardon me to be blunt, a joke) and the Purusha shukta. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 2, 2005 when you say the translation on wikipedia, which translation are you talking about? is it wrong? what should it be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Report post Posted April 5, 2014 Taittiryia Aranyaka (10-13-1), Narayana sookta, Lord Narayana is mentioned as the supreme being. The first verse of Narayana Sookta mentions the words "paramam padam", which literally mean "highest post" and may be understood as the "supreme abode for all souls". This is also known as Paramdhama, Paramapadam, or Vaikuntha. Rigveda 1:22:20a also mentions the same "paramam padam". This special status is not given to any deity in the Vedas apart from Lord Vishnu/Narayana. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
